1916...What If It Was Sid The Kid

Blares the headline in the Ottawa Citizen's sports pages.

Dave Stubbs asks what if, instead of Boston's Marc Savard getting gooned by Pittsburgh's Matt Cooke it had of been Sidney Crosby getting taken out with a dirty hit? What would the NHL do then?

"This wasn't an isolated incident: this season and last, Cooke has been suspended twice...for head shots..."

The NHL has went from being a league poised to be the sport of the 1980's to being behind NASCAR and Figure Skating outside its core markets and actions like Mr. Cooke's attribute to that greatly.
